We enjoyed our dinner at Lighthouse Sound. The atmosphere and view are so beautiful! Everyone devoured their meals! Cocktails were fabulous as well. Our server, Stephen was very attentive. Water and Iced Teas were always filled. There were 5 of us. To start the warm dinner rolls were a hit! Smelled and tasted Divine. There was no gluten free bread in the restaurant tonight but they offered me something else if I wanted anything. Which was very nice and appreciated. Beef barley soup and cream of crab soup were excellent. The salmon dinners with broccolini and rice were excellent as well. That’s my go to gluten free dish there. The men got the filet - nothing was left on their plates! One of our party got the ribeye - while it was tasty, it was also fatty. That was the only negative for the evening. Everyone was so full there was no room for dessert which sounded amazing. Although no gluten free options if you’re GF. We will definitely be going back to Lighthouse Sound.

Travel through the moon gate to Bodhi Kitchen, modern Asian cuisine with a twist located in Rehoboth Beach, DE. Bodhi's brand is minimal yet bold, utilizing the iconic shape of the moon gate to transport diners through the garden and into the escape that is Bodhi.

THE BODHI KITCHEN PHILOSOPHY
Bodhi Kitchen features an innovative Asian-inspired menu with flavor-forward dishes riffing on Thai, Korean, Chinese, Vietnamese and Japanese flavors to create something entirely new. This is our modern take on street food and Asian night markets.

Please note that the Bodhi Kitchen staff will try to accommodate any request(s) made but all requests are not guaranteed.

We love Bodhi! Their food is fresh, creative and delicious! It is one of our favorite places in the area and have gone several times already since our recent move to DE. Their soup dumplings are a MUST HAVE each time (we always get 2 orders!), as well as the kimchi fried rice with pork belly added! The bam bam shrimp bao buns are also worth getting each trip, as well as their scallion pancakes!!! They have a small menu overall, so each dish is very well thought through and have purpose!!!
